Our White Christmas

Today was the snowiest Christmas day in 25 years in Minneapolis. It was idyllic. No commuting for me, nowhere to be, and all the time in the world for the kids to enjoy what today had for us. Here's a synopsis:


Corrie ran up to our room to wish us a Merry Christmas, and was thrilled to find gifts in the living room:
She spent time with Wes:

Jack got to put the Baby Jesus in the Manger on our advent calendar

Jack enjoyed his Harold the Helicopter Toy

Corrie loves those Disney Princesses


Both the kids love their new Thomas the Tank Engine tent


Wes and I did some hanging out!


Then Corrie and I shoveled snow



And Corrie insisted upon going to our local playground, which was covered with snow. But the loader could still move snow!
After this we headed home. Corrie declared our home "the land of cocoa", because "all of the people make cocoa there."

It was quite a day. The evening news' top story was the fact that we had a White Christmas, and it was a beautiful sight:






Merry Christmas!

I can't help but think of the words, "you'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white....." , but I didn't have a blue Christmas even though I missed you so much on this special day. We are glad that you have had this precious time with your family!
 
Joel, are you shoveling snow...in sweats?! You're a crazy man. Merry Christmas, Bascoms!
